Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill

Chapter 679: 679:A Mysterious Formation

The moment Duke Osantra gave the order, the entire group rushed forward without hesitation. Their figures flashed through the thick sea of miasma while powerful auras burst from their bodies to keep the corrupted mist away. The ground beneath their feet cracked one after another as they advanced deeper into the dead land.

The cloaked figures who had discovered them immediately reacted and quickly spread out while raising their hands. Strange chants echoed through the mist, and the surrounding darkness suddenly became restless.

Dark red mist gathered before them and formed dozens of sharp spears that floated silently in the air. Every spear gave off a chilling aura as though it carried death itself. Without waiting another moment, the cloaked figures waved their hands, and the blood-colored spears shot toward Ethan and the others from every direction with frightening speed.

”Watch out!” one of the nobles shouted.

The attacks reached them almost instantly.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Several nobles swung their swords at the same time. Brilliant arcs of sword energy tore through the incoming spears while explosions echoed across the area. The shattered attacks scattered into countless strands of dark mist, yet instead of disappearing, the mist gathered together once again and transformed into long black chains that rushed toward the group and tried to wrap around their bodies.

A Saint knight snorted coldly before slashing downward with his broadsword.

CLANG!

The sword energy split the chains apart, and another noble followed with a burst of flames that burned away the remaining darkness before it could reform.

However, the cloaked figures did not stop.

They stretched both hands toward the sky while the surrounding miasma violently churned. Thick streams of black mist mixed together with dark red blood and formed enormous claw-like hands. The giant claws reached down from above and slammed toward the nobles with overwhelming force.

Duke Osantra stepped forward first.

His aura erupted around him while his sword shone with a bright silver light. He swung it with all his strength, and a huge blade of sword energy rose into the sky before cutting straight through the descending claw.

BOOOOOOM!

The giant claw exploded apart and scattered into countless pieces of dark mist.

At the same time, another noble thrust his spear forward. Hundreds of spear shadows burst out one after another and pierced through several cloaked figures, forcing them to retreat while blood splashed onto the corrupted ground.

Even after suffering injuries, the cloaked figures showed no fear.

Instead, they laughed strangely before gathering more of the surrounding mist.

Dark clouds rolled across the battlefield while countless blood-red symbols appeared within the air. They rotated slowly before releasing waves of dark energy that rushed toward the nobles like a flood. The pressure alone made several people’s expressions become serious.

Ethan narrowed his eyes while looking at the incoming attacks.

He slowly raised one hand.

A warm golden light immediately spread from his palm.

Unlike the dark mist, the golden radiance felt calm and pure. The moment the light touched the blood-red symbols, loud hissing sounds echoed through the battlefield.

SSSSSS!

The dark energy rapidly melted away.

The blood-colored symbols lost their glow before breaking apart one after another.

The surrounding miasma also retreated wherever the golden light passed. Large patches of the corrupted land became clean once again while the black mist quickly dispersed.

The cloaked figures stared at Ethan in disbelief.

”Light...”

One of them spoke in a trembling voice.

”He possesses the power of Light.”

Another immediately shouted,

”Kill him!”

The remaining cloaked figures abandoned the others and charged directly toward Ethan. They gathered dark mist around their weapons while blood-red flames covered their blades. Every attack carried strange corrosive power that tried to devour everything it touched.

Ethan remained completely calm.

Golden light quietly surrounded his greatsword while faint rays spread across the blade.

The first cloaked figure swung his sword.

Ethan met it head-on.

CLANG!

A loud collision echoed across the battlefield.

The dark aura surrounding the enemy’s weapon instantly cracked before the golden light spread across it and purified the corruption attached to the blade.

Without stopping, Ethan stepped forward and swung again.

A brilliant golden arc swept across the battlefield.

The blood-red spell before him split apart while the surrounding mist scattered in every direction. Wherever the light passed, the darkness rapidly disappeared as though it had never existed.

Seeing this, the surrounding nobles immediately regained their confidence.

”Push forward!”

”Don’t give them time to cast more spells!”

Duke Osantra shouted while charging ahead once again.

The group continued cutting their way forward while the cloaked figures desperately tried to stop them.

One enemy after another fell beneath the combined attacks of Duke Osantra, Ethan, and the accompanying nobles. The deeper they advanced, the thicker the miasma became while the air itself grew heavier with every step.

Even breathing started becoming uncomfortable because the corrupted mist continuously pressed against the protective aura surrounding their bodies.

After several more minutes of fighting, the group finally broke through the last line of resistance and arrived before a strange area unlike anything they had seen before.

Everyone instinctively stopped.

The ground ahead was completely covered with countless intricate patterns carved into the black earth. Enormous magic circles overlapped one another while countless strange symbols continuously glowed with a dull crimson light. Thick streams of dark energy flowed through the engraved lines like rivers of blood and connected every formation together. Several ancient pillars stood around the area, and each one was covered with mysterious runes that constantly absorbed the surrounding miasma.

Duke Osantra cautiously took one step forward.

The moment his foot crossed the edge of the formation...

BOOOOM!

An invisible force suddenly erupted from the magic circles.

A tremendous pressure crashed into him without warning and violently pushed him backward.

He slid several meters across the ground before firmly planting his sword into the earth to stop himself.

The others were equally shocked.

One noble frowned before attempting to step inside from another direction.The result was exactly the same.

BANG!
